We bring talent, ideas and capital together to support the
founding, funding and growth of Open Technology businesses and projects.

Our members include entrepreneurs, small Open Technology companies, large technology suppliers and venture capital firms. The Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) and City of Beaverton are our founding partners.

Our executive and venture capital advisors challenge our start-ups to show how their use of shared core technology differentiates, accelerates, and delivers truly market-driven solutions. The result is a class of new ventures with uncommon support and opportunity for success.
